It would be simplicity itself to require everyone present at an important civic event to dress modestly, and not more disruptive than to require all voters to vote on a work day. Just a small polite consideration to your fellow voters who happen to be religious, in order not to disenfranchise them. It does sound to me like your willingness to respect the religious depends on the religion.

How much respect did you have for Sunday trading restrictions? (yes, I know Christian law is an arbitrary and inconsistent set of rules, observant Christians seem to observe just the ones they feel like, and many nominal Christians don't seem to observe any of them. Thank goodness other religions aren't like that!)
